I was thinking the same thing that maybe the snow dropped the water temp so fast it pushed them to deeper water but who knows if that's even the case.

Fished Limestone Bay today, hard day of fishing.
I fished deep and shallow, both the stump flats and laydowns. I ended up with a dozen for dinner, but fish were few and far between. Seemed the fish that did hit, hit hard and took the jig deep so it seems just a lack of Crappie in Limestone right now. I wonder if the unusually cold winter push most of the Crappie out and into deeper water?

What was water temp
I was back in limestone creek for a few hours and found a few holding tight to a tree where they normally are and caught 6. usually catch a lot of bass back there but the current was so fast I couldn't get my worm rig to sink. Wheeler dam must have been wide open.
The water was 42 to 45 degrees in the bay, 49 to 50 in Beaverdam Creek but all the water is 12 to 18 inches deep and falling. I stayed out of Limestone creek and the pits due to the amount of water flowing under the bridge when I came in. Hopefully, a week of warm weather will get the Crappie moving in off the main lake.
